What Are Sinus Issues?
Living with sinus issues is like forever living with the flu. The discomfort may be mild or more severe, but it always seems to be there like a bad cold you can’t shake. It may not seem like the worst health problem you can have, but the constant discomfort makes it difficult to get through the day without a struggle. In the long term, sinus issues can lead to breathing difficulties or put you at risk for infections.
Signs and Symptoms of Sinus Issues
Common signs of sinus problems may include nasal congestion and discharge. This congested feeling may come and go throughout your days. It may worsen when you lie down.
Sinus problems can cause tension in the face and head and may cause facial pain and headaches. You may experience pressure or swelling around the eyes, nose, or forehead.
When sinuses drain down the back of the throat (post-nasal drip), this can lead to throat irritation and may cause a sore throat, a hoarse voice, or bad breath.
People with sinus problems generally feel fatigued; partly this is because your body is working hard to fight off infections, and partly this is because sinus issues can interfere with you getting a good night’s sleep.
How the Upper Cervical Spine Effects Sinus Issues
The upper cervical spine is the uppermost part of the spine that begins at the base of the skull and runs through the neck. It is close to the brain stem, and clusters of nerves run from the brain stem through the face.
When these nerves are pinched or compressed due to a misalignment of the upper cervical spine, it can interfere with the flow of signals from the brain. This may result in craniofacial issues and inflammation that affects the sinuses.
How Our Sinus Treatment Works
To help people suffering from sinus issues, our doctors at Upper Cervical Chiropractic of Boulder get straight to the root of the problem. The upper cervical spine is very vulnerable to injury due to jolts to the head, accidents that cause the neck to whip around, or even poor posture. Dr. Christina Coblish and Dr. Ryan Moeskau can help realign this part of the spine to help reduce inflammation and restore the flow of nerve signals.
Dr. Coblish and Dr. Moeskau are both specialists in the Blair Chiropractic Technique. This is a modern technique focused on the health of the upper cervical spine. Blair practitioners utilize advanced technology to pinpoint misalignments causing issues so that they can make more precise corrections using gentle manipulations.
Our doctors use CBCT diagnostic imaging scans for a 3D look at your unique anatomy and calculate the angles of your spine. If any misalignments are found, they are then able to use low-pressure adjustments that tend to hold longer than traditional chiropractic adjustments.
The Blair Chiropractic Technique is a safe, effective, drug-free, non-invasive treatment option for sinus sufferers. If you have chronic sinus issues, call us for a consultation to see how upper cervical care may benefit you and help restore health and wellness. Our areas of coverage include Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Erie, Lafayette, Broomfield, and Denver in Colorado.
